IOA Seeks Nominations for Distinguished Emeriti Ombuds

The International Ombudsman Association is seeking nominations for potential Distinguished Emeritus honorees. IOA has traditionally awarded the distinction to retired Ombuds in recognition of their outstanding and dedicated service to the organization and profession.Presented at the IOA Annual Conference, recipients receive complimentary, non-transferable membership status along with a complimentary registration to the conference for the year that he or she receives the honor. The criteria are:

An outstanding record of service to the IOA or its predecessor organizations
(TOA, UCOA, COA) either as an elected official or through other voluntary service to
the organization on task forces, committees, or as an advocate of the organizational
ombudsman profession or the public.

Demonstration of innovative service contributions that have advanced the
organizational ombudsman profession through administrative or committee work
outside of IOA or its predecessor organizations, or other efforts, including publications,
public speaking, testimony and instruction.

Evidence of a leadership role in one or more activities that has positively
impacted the organizational ombudsman profession.

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.
